HOW TO USE THE KILL AND SYSTEM COMMANDS

[beyondsociety]

HI,

IM CREATING A MENU FOR MY PROGRAMS IN QBASIC AND SO FAR IT
SHOWS THE MENU, SCROLLS, AND THEN LOOPS. I WANT THE EXIT IN THE MENU TO EXIT, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT WON'T. I KNOW I CAN USE THE KILL AND SYSTEM COMMANDS, BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXACTLY USE THEM. IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME OUT I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.

KILL deletes a file you specify:

KILL "C:\mymenu.bat"

while SYSTEM ends a program. If you're running the program with QBASIC/RUN, then you'll have to use SYSTEM to end the QBASIC interpreter as well. Just using END only terminates the program's execution, but not the interpreter itself.
